Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for HR Consultancy Services by Oxford Direct Services Limited, based in Oxford, has reached the completion stage. This process, initiated under tender ID ocds-h6vhtk-06a159, led to the awarding of a contract to Emeria Consulting, based in Worcestershire. The industry category is services, specifically human resources management consultancy services, with the main procurement category being services. The contract commenced on 23rd March 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2026. The process followed a below-threshold procurement method, although the specific procurement type was unspecified.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HR consultancy to expand their client base within the public sector. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in human resources consultancy were particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given the below-threshold procurement method. The contract awarded to Emeria Consulting, an SME, highlights the potential for similarly scaled businesses to secure contracts with public authorities such as Oxford Direct Services Limited, which operates within the sub-central government category.
